Re: Doctor and Engineer Puzzle
Mr Bajaj is the Engineer
His son is Doctor This satisfies 1) as both doctor and Engineer are male Satisfies 2) as engineer is not younger than the doctor. Since both are males, 3 is ruled out. I think 3 only confirms that the wife and mother are not talked about.It could have been omitted as well

Re: Doctor and Engineer Puzzle
· If the Doctor is a male, then the Engineer is a male.
· If the Engineer is younger than the Doctor, then the Engineer and the Doctor are not blood relatives. · If the Engineer is a female, then she and the Doctor are blood relatives. #1 If the Doctor is a male, then the Engineer is a male. If Mr. Bajaj is the Doctor then the Son is the Engineer. If the Son is the Doctor then Mr. Bajaj is the Engineer. #3 If the Engineer is a female, then she and the Doctor are blood relatives. If the Wife is the Engineer then the Son is the Doctor. If the Mother is the Engineer then Mr. Bajaj is the Doctor. #2 If the Engineer is younger than the Doctor, then the Engineer and the Doctor are not blood relatives. The only pair that are not blood relatives is the Mother and the Wife. |

hi all,
In my opinion there are 3 possibilities. Obviously 1st is Doctor - Bajaj & Engineer - Son 2nd Doctor - Mother & Engineer - Bajaj I put this option bcz 1st rule does not says Doctor must not be female, it just says if doctor happens to be male then Engineer must be a male. 2nd rule satisfies as mother is elder 3rd rule satisfies as both r blood relatives. so the option would be one other possiblity. 3rd Doctor - Mother & Engineer - Bajaj's Son same argument as in the 2nd. |
